I went to my hospital today and I asked about it and I guess they don't it anymore there 😯 I was bumped but my dr said I could get a midwife willing to do that so I'm thinking about it

I think it's called an alternative birthing center...I've been considering it to, but I'm scared because this is also my first. @ariela23

I just think its great how the warm water can relax you and also soften down there you know.? I really like the idea @trezelle

@vondab490, yes I definitely will @imstillhungry thank you for explaining it better 😊 and yes I will have to consult my doctor and see what my options are 👍

There's a lot of info on home births online. I follow this page on Instagram that's called "birthingmommas" and a bunch more. I've heard that natural births aren't as bad as the fear of them. I'm hoping on doing a water birth in my home also.

@ariela23, some hospitals have whirlpools for laboring, but depending on the hospital you may have to get out often so they can monitor the baby, and some will not let you deliver in the water.

@babygirl10-11, well my mom went natural on all 3 and I would like to do the same, I feel like feeling the pain is better because that way you know how the baby is trying to push and you can work with it and may be faster😊

A good midwife is prepared for any minor problems, and should definitely be able to stitch you up, handle hemorrhage, fetal resuscitation, etc. And will know when it's time to pack it up and go to the hospital if the need arises. @essence

At birthing hospitals.. Idk the actual name of them tho. I just know that a girl I used to work with had her baby at a birthing hospital and they give u the option of like different environments to have ur baby. U may have to google it or sumn lol.

@vondab490, they have those pools at the hospital too.? 😵

Well normally your midwife will be there with you but I'm not sure that's why I'm having second guesses on it @essence

I would say a birthing hospital where u can have it in a pool it watever they have there

What happens if you tear who stiches you up? @ariela23 @imstillhungry

i would say hospital just in case you decide on pain meds ...just in case and good for you going natural I went all natural with my last baby not to bad .. it wasn't by choice baby came to fast but if I h

ever have baby #4 I'm definitely gonna try going natural again maybe even a water birth lol

Anything for a less painful birth haha I've herd it really relaxes you 😊

I'm hoping for a home water birth, too! Torn because of the cost, but hopeful that insurance will pre-certify!
